Background:
Around 60,000 small landholders steward the care of 650,000 hectares in WA. Many of these landholders face serious environmental challenges such as drought, pests, weeds and climate change. But they also have a wonderful opportunity to play an important role in improving the environment for the benefit of future generations. Perth NRM and its partners are committed to assisting landholders in their journey by creating meaningful programs and activities that lead to improving the natural resources in our region.
